As far as your scope I don't think you would be too far off with a 2.5-8 VX3, and maybe even more balanced size wise would be a leupy VX2 in 2-7, they are a little more compact. Any other quality 2-7 would be fine as well, but I personally wouldn't want to go with more magnification and physical size then the tried and true 2.5-8.
One other consideration for you is the action size. I only mention this as second hand info because I havent seen it for my self. I had a buddy who disliked his blr in 7mm because it had a very long lever stroke according to him, and his 308 didn't. If you've tried it and like it go for it, but from what my buddy said I be'd tempted to take a second look at a short action if they even still make two sizes.
Good luck, Homesteader.
